simple and durable parts, which Will be inexpensive to manufacture, and which will not easily giet out of order.

With the above and other objects in view the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed, it being understood that various modifications may be resorted to Within the scope of the appended claims without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the accompanying drawing forming a part y of this specification:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a churn constructed in accordance with the invention and secured to an oscillating type agitator of a washing machine.

Figure 2 is a longitudinal sectional view taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 3.

Figure 3 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Figure 2.

Figure 4 is a cross sectional view taken on the line 4 4 of Figure 3.

Referring now to the drawing in which like characters of reference designate similar parts in the various views, I0 designates a conventional agitator having a spindle II, this agitator being illustrative of the conventional agitator of an oscillating type of Washing machine.

The churn forming the subject matter of this invention comprises a base 9 in the form of a metal disk which is equipped on the bottom with a soft rubber ring I2 corrugated as shown at I3 on its bottom face to prevent slipping on the agitator II. A plurality of cross brace members I4 extend upwardly from the base 9 to a platform I 5 formed of metal such as aluminum. The corners of the platform are formed with upstanding anges I6 of right angular outline, as best shown in Figure 3.

The crossed brace members form a frame and within the frame area plurality of spaced rubber rings I 'I disposed co-axial with the frame. V-shaped strap brackets I9 are secured to respective crossed brace members by riveting or otherwise and are secured at the apex to a metal ring 2li which is of concave cross section and which embraces the outer peripheral portion of a respective rubber ring I'I.

The rubber rings I1 are adapted to receive the spindle II of the agitator and these rings may be of different sizes to receive spindles of various diameters.

A cream container 2l is supported upon the platform, the container preferably being of rectangular cross section to be snugly confined on the platform between the flanges I6 and preferably being formed of glass.

During the operation of the washing machine to oscillate the agitator I0, the cream container 2| will be oscillated to form butter.

From. the above description it is thought that the construction and operation of the invention will be fully understood without further explanation.

What is claimed is:

1. A supporting frame comprising, a base, a soft rubber ring on the under side of the base, brace members extending upwardly from the base, a platform on the upper ends of the brace members, upstanding flanges on the platform, and a pair of superposed spaced rubber rings disposed within the enclosure of the braces coaxial with the frame.

2. A supporting frame comprising., a metal plate forming a base, a soft rubber ring on the bottom of the base having a corrugated bottom face, a plurality of crossed braces extending up- Wardly from the base, a platform on the upper ends of the braces, a pair of spaced rubber rings disposed co-axial with the frame, brackets extending from. the braces, and concave rings carried by the brackets engaging the outer peripheral portions of the spaced rings.
